"Choice Home Builders LLC (Mack Brazell and associates) was the general contractor for a repair job at our mother’s home in Northeast Columbia. If you want an honest, reliable and reasonable contractor – call Mack Brazell. The scope of the project was to repair a roof/siding leak; and install new wall/ceiling sheetrock and flooring where leak damage had occurred. After contacting several others, Mack is the only one who told us he COULD do it and WOULD do it! 1. Quality of work performed. The quality of work done was superior. Throughout the project, we were impressed with Mack’s commitment to generating a top-quality product. He really cared about doing the job right! He identified the problem and worked quickly to stop a long-term roof leak right before Hurricane Florence hit SC. Repairs to the roof, ceilings and walls was perfect. Mack and associates were extremely professional, courteous, and respectful of our mother’s home and her availability. 2. Integrity and professionalism. Kept his word, kept us informed, was trustworthy and dependable. These attributes were greatly appreciated – especially in today’s world of shoddy repairmen. He always called before he showed up to inform us when he was coming. 3. Value. Choice Home Builders provided great work at a reasonable price. Mack went above and beyond what he quoted us…..we were pleasantly surprised at the amount we actually paid. In summary, Mack Brazell is reliable and trustworthy builder who can repair or construct any type of residential building. Possesses a great personality and work ethic, easy to work with, and very respectful of the customer and environment. We can’t say enough about how pleased we are with Choice Home Builders LLC."

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"The crew was amazing! They did my entire roof quickly and efficiently. They ordered all of my materials so the whole process was very hassle free. I was given a ton of options and all of which were explained when it came to price and difference in materials. They cleaned up everything when the job was complete so I didn't have to worry about scraps and nails in my yard! This is a very professional crew and I will definitely hire them again!"

"He has the capabilities to solve a lot of problems and then if it is something else that requires other expertise he calls other people. You can count on him and the people he calls. He only reaches out to others that have a similar mindset as his. They are responsible, respectful, and do the job right. He stands by his work and he does communicate. He does large and small jobs. Todd also spent a half day drilling through the granite on a relief for my husbands' parents. He had to take the bronze to get it trimmed. As busy as Todd is, he took the time because he knew how important how these family issues are. This was way out of what a normal contractor would do and now the relief is up and it is beautiful. That's just the kind of person he is. He has been maintaining our property for the past 7 years. He does everything from replacing doors, sheet rock, refinishing cabinet doors, or has access to someone who can do it. If the rental properties needed to be painted, either inside or ouside, he did the work."

"I recently completed a new home designed by David Coleman Architecture of Seattle, one of the leading modern architects in the country. The design was highly site‑specific and architecturally complex, so choosing the right builder was critical. After interviewing several builders, I chose Tim Kern and Conquest Homes because I felt the right level of professionalism, confidence, and integrity from them. That instinct proved absolutely right. Tim's team executed a challenging modern plan with precision, top‑tier craftsmanship, and a clear respect for the architect’s vision. Modern architecture is not common in this region, yet they delivered it flawlessly—on time, at a competitive cost, and with exceptional quality. They monitored subcontractors closely and ensured every detail aligned with the architect’s specifications. Conquest Homes exceeded every expectation. If you’re building a home where quality and fidelity to design truly matter - there is no better choice."

"Like anyone that notices their home is starting to crack and move you feel overwhelmed. After hiring a structural engineer to tell us what what was going on we began the search for a foundation specialist. I interviewed three companies and after research selected CNT Foundations.
We are very happy with the outcome. They met all my criteria and deserve this recommendation. I expect excellence, attention to detail and integrity when I pay for a service. Victor and his three man crew met all these standards. I was kept informed, involved and allowed to observe what they were doing. The job site was left clean, my home was not damaged and the job was finished on time. Victor was on onsite to supervise every phase of the operation and address my questions. There was immediate follow-up to see if I was satisfied and I my account was adjusted when the cost of the service was less than expected. Before you go with a company that advertises on TV everyday give these guys a try. You will be glad you did.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.
